I completed 2 internships at a daycare center this semester, which I paid for, bought supplies out of my own pocket, and completed 140+ hours, which was more than required. My professor gave me a D and an F and I totally disagree. How should I approach her about it, and what other steps should I take? As a result she has made me lose my financial aide at school, and I will NOT be graduating in the Spring now.

This is a qoute from Winston Churchills speech. i need to know what the las t sentence means:
"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valor, and be in rediness for the conflict; for it is better for us to peridh in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. And the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be."

I'm a foreign student here. English reading and listening are not hard to improve but I find that speaking is rather difficult to learn by self. If I encounter a word but do not know the exact pronunciation, what is the easiest way to find it? I have dictionaries but they are Britain-English based.

So is there any CDs, Website, Media, Tools, or other methods to know the American pronunciation of each word I encounter? Dictionary may be good but I think the "real" sound could help me "really" understand what the pronunciation is.

Thank you very much and Happy New Year!

Hi everyone !!!

Okay i know this is bad to do ..but please do not give me a attitude towards the question i am telling you , please and if you feel like you are going to give a attitude don't answer because i will give you a low rating ! ...I want the truth ..no attitudes ! thank you


Okay so i filled out a application online a couple weeks ago for this company in Salem Ma called living well for a receptionist job. On my resume that i sent them i put that i have my GED and attend college. Well my question is ..Is there any way that they can tell if i have my GED or not ? Because as of right now i do not have my GED , But i will have it in a month that is when my appointment is. I just put down i have my GED because it will look better for me and me get a job easier. Could you please answer with honesty ...Do you think she will find out i don't have my GED ...Is there anyway that they do that. I know they check your backround to see if you are a murder or been to court or anything like that ...and your last jobs ..but i don't know about education ..I don't think they do but i am not sure. ...I have done this to a couple other jobs and never got caught but i quit a couple of them because i didn't like them ..can you please please answer ! thank you so much everyone .. have a great day.

I want to become a doctor when I am older, what kinds of books should I read now?
I am in the 11 grade and I do fairly well in school, (hardest classes and 3.6 GPA, activley involved in school and out of school activities, yet to take SAT or ACT though.) I like to read but do not consider myself an avid reader yet. Which books would help me to develop my vocabulary as well as increase my intelligence for when I enter into medical school and the medical profession itself.

Also, do you think that I stand a good chance of getting into Emory, Case or Vanderbilt?

I am aware that my high school perfomance only influences my undergrad career. What should you then suggest to help me in the very competitve area of medical school accpetance?

Do people really start medical school at age 22 or 23 years? I don't think I'd be able to start med school until I'm 24 or 25 and I feel this may be a little too old.

the question was "how has the media impacted your perception of the world?"
What I see and hear in the media today, impacts my perception of the world profoundly. For it is probably the only resource for myself, and many individuals, for knowing what is happening around the world. However, I believe that the media has a nasty habit of concentrating on negative aspects of the world, and focusing on the bad behavior of celebrities.
